his countenance, to the CHRONICLE repre-.
sentative, after the adjournment of the
city convention on Saturday night, "the
CHRONICLE guessed about right when il
named over the Republican ticket last
week" And it did. With the exception
of Frank Henry, who had not been res,
ident of Bozeman for six months, for city
attorney. and Charles Rich for police
magistrate, who was not nominated on
account of his prohibition predictions,
our conjecture was entirely correct, and
as our e. c. said: "There was no need of
holding convention"
VIM. Award, chairman of the central
committee, called the meeting to order,

Mr.. Carlln moved that ]. V. Bogert be

be made chairman. Carried.

NOMINATION OF CITY OFFICERS,
mayor, marshal, assessor and coll lector
city attorney and police magistrate; 3rd,
selection of city central committee for
ensuing year. Report adopted.
The nomination for mayor being in
order, Archie Mcdonald lost no time in
placing J. V. Bogert in nomination. Al
ward moved that the nomination be
made unanimous, which was straightway
carried.
Mr.. Bogert arose to his feet and ad.
dressed the meeting in brief speech
He said that he had not sought the nom.
ination and had not asked a single person
to support him. He had served the city
twice as mayor and believed he had nc
right to ask for the position again, but il
elected he would serve the city to its best
ends. He mentioned the impending dan.
ger of the party becoming divided on a
question of morals, and believed that the
question should be met at the polls as
well as anywhere else. There was ia mat
ter which he would have to explain, per
haps, during the canvass and that was
his connection with the two meetings
held last week. He had attended then
merely for the purpose of gaining inform
alton. The Republican party was par
ty of reform. &c. For
CITY MARSHAL
Mr. Rice mentioned the not altogether
unfamiliar name of A. P. Clark. Pen
dleton nominated A. S. Elliott. Pendle
ton and DR.. Tudor were appointed tellers
Clark receiving fifteen and Elliott five
two votes less than even the Clark mer
mad figured upon. Thus was Mr.. Elliot
shelyed and emphatically made to un
derstand that he was at least ten year
too previous with his aspirations.

Dan Maxey nominated Charles Rict
and was seconded by Mr.. Cleveland
Sacket nominated Dodson, the presen,
incumbent. Dodson received sixteen ant
Rich four votes.
CITY ATTORNEY.
Mr.. Bogert placed in nomination ID.
Campbell and in neat speech spoke Of
David's attainments as lawyer which
would be put into use by the CITY council
in the next year. Mr.. Hemphill nomi
hated Charles Hartman and was inform
ed that Mr.. Hartman would under n
considerations accept. Mr.. Hodson men
toned Henry, (Mr. Hodson is evidentl.
a CHRONICLE reader), and was told tina
Mr.. Henry had not been citizen G
Bozeman the required length of time
Mr.. Campbell was then declared to b
the unanimous choice of the convention
and will again be permitted to enjoy a
April snow storm, similar, only more Sc
to that he enjoyed last year.
